    hearing rumours (online I grant you) that Bon Jovi only sold half the tickets , therefore , gig is not yet licensed and wont go ahead.

    Any truth in this?

    Oh what a tragedy. Another shite 80's/90's band dies from lack of interest. They haven't had a good song in 15 years FFS.

    Ya, they're so bad :rolleyes:

    They are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 100 million records, and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 35 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006.

    I highly doubt they'll cancel it considering everything's ready now - the whole village is fenced and everything is pretty much in order now.

    It's easier to sell out at a venue like the Manchester, Eithad Stadium, where you'll have a larger UK Bon Jovi fan base than an open air concert like Slane with dozens of other acts

    Well keep an eye out for any press release tomorrow.

    However I'm sure it will go ahead as planned.

    Selling albums or concert tickets doesn't mean they're good. Obviously it's subjective, but what's their best song?

    This unfortunately is true. Case in point : Jedward! ( cannot believe I actually typed that)

    So any evidence of this at all, or just total scuttlebutt?

    No great loss. Don't they come to Ireland every year on the "Money for Old Rope" tour?
